I worked at a place that decided, because they were stupid in more ways than just this, that Systems Administrators were entry level, Systems Engineers were experienced, and DevOps were the top of the heap. (My preference is that these represent different sets of skills.) Many companies will pick a different random order.

(Actually, I interviewed many people with the same opinion.)

So it pays to mix up the words used. While they are all fools, no one is going to change based on my opinion.

Beyond the title. The list of responsibilities needs to match the salary.

The number of companies that mix and match responsibilities from different skillsets and expect below market rates is mind boggling.

I started applying to jobs outside my skillset. If I matched 40% of the requirements and tailored my resume to the posting I got better matches.

Landed a step down remote gig. Never stopped job hunting. Found a solid step up 6 months later. Jumped ship. I still kept shopping for a new gig. Stayed because they promoted me 3 times in a years.

At will employment. That means they can drop you when they want but you can also leave when you want.
